With over 110cm of snowfall predicted for the next 7 days, ​Niseko may be about to receive one of its greatest season beginnings of the decade.

Snow blanketed the slopes last weekend as work continued on the newly extended Family run. Last weekend marked the start of something special as the town received 20cm of snow on Saturday night. Snowfall continued throughout the week, with over 10cm of snow falling in the last 24hrs at the Hirafu village level.
